About The Gardening Network and Garden Hints Events

How The Gardening Network works

I am a custom garden consultant, horticulturist, and speaker. Several years ago (1994), in an effort to help promote good gardening practices, I started The Gardening Network. I organize, host and occasionally speak, at the Garden Hints events.
These events are usually held, in the upstairs meeting room at Brentwood Library, free of charge. These Garden Hints events allow members of the public interested in gardening and related activities to increase their knowledge.

Our "Raison D'Etre"

The Garden Hints events were created to help share horticultural knowledge with anyone that cares to participate in our various activities. Any one of us may not have the answer to your question, but we can usually find out from one of our contacts. Knowledge should be shared - not hoarded away like stolen treasure - especially gardening knowledge. Just because you are a "new" gardener does not mean you do not have valid ideas or suggestions; Keeping an open mind and being tolerant are important; we can always learn something from one another, and no one person can ever know everything!

Growth and All Welcome

As it's numbers grew, we decided to become a non-profit association. The Gardening Network is therefore, now a non-profit garden association; anyone and everyone is welcome to attend the events, or to join as members; it is completely volunteer run - none of our speakers or organisers get paid for any activities undertaken at Garden Hints events.

A few dedicated plant lovers joined me in becoming founding members of the Garden Hints endeavour, and you will often see them among us - sometimes presenting; sometimes helping to set up; sometimes just being there to answer questions.

We feel that people should be given the opportunity to acquire knowledge in the areas that are of specific interest to them, and to that end, we always ask our members and visitors what sorts of programs they would enjoy having in the future. This allows us to search out volunteer experts in those areas and invite them out to give a talk or a demonstration.

What We Do

Our activities include informational and hands-on seminars at local (Etobicoke) libraries, Etobicoke City Hall or the Neilson Park Creative Centre; hands-on gardening workshops at a member-volunteers' garden; walking tours of especially interesting plant locations (such as a daylily farm; Royal Botanical Gardens; a private garden tour; a nature hike in an interesting park...) and plant exchanges.
